Interesting is also the statement, that smaller ISPs already confirmed their support for this preventive blocking... I think this started here in CH in about 1996 or 1997 - we used to get lists regularly of sites to block. The lists had at the time about 20 or 30 sites - looks like it's grown quite a lot since then. They used to be mostly sites with political speech that most European governments find offensive. -- Mickey Coggins Tel: +41-79-210-3762 ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Re: [swinog] Preventive blocking
Title: Converted from Rich Text Blocking is as well political activism as nonsense, as long as many of the childporn-sellers set up as many as 20 sites a day on yahoo. These sites are pointing on perfectly legal sites on which one can make a payment for receiving a password which enables user to get into a p2p-network where the cp-material is distributed. Furthermore: ISPs would have to update the list all day and night - a neverending job. And as long as some police departments in some other countries are setting up cp-sites as a trap and therefore are actively distributing child pornography, the whole "plan of action" as described in TV becomes pretty weird. Are elections soon? But anyway, if Cablecom _really_ wants to block all these sites, the responsible guy may contact me off-list. I'll be glad to send him may daily harvest of cp-addresses :-p guido Ursprüngliche Mitteilung Betreff: Re: [swinog] Preventive blocking Autor: Fredy Kuenzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: 22.

Maybe they feared it getting out of hand. Explaining things like DNS, IP addresses and virtual hosts in a few minutes so that Joe User understands might not be that easy. On the other hand though, that's the problem with nearly every computer related topic today. They could at least have mentioned that it is very easy for a halfway skilled computer user to circumvent these blocking attempts of the providers though.
